to which all have hitherto bowed, and to look to
the military power for protection against tbe ^urated at A

predominates at its cloBe, and no people hare ever
returned to tbe point from which they started,—
Even should tbe Southern States be Bubdued aud
forced back into tbe Union (which I regard as impossible, witb a full knowledge of iheir resources)
a diflerent form of government will be fouud needled to meet the new developments of national
character. There is no class of society, no branch

The order Is evidently proper. The private must
go to tbe captain, the captain goes to the colonel,

The brigade commander goes to the commander of
the division, who alone baa audience with

aud highly proper; but another question of etiquette loe- arisen, and iu consequence "■" ill feeling

that all they will be required to do is tbe execution of his orders, and should any Division General
succeed him, iu any event, to tbe command, then

who courts popularity, but, as a thorough soldier,
will be strict, just and exacting. He will never

->eU.r or Mr*. Uo-- O. IV. Gre-iilio tv Cq Sccr.tnry
S2_f-T Sixteenth street, f
To the Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of
State— Sir: For nearly three months I bave been
confined, a close prisoner, shut out from air and
exercise, and douied all communion with family
nnd friends.
J, Patience Is said to be a good virtue, and I have
practiced it to my utmost capacity of endurance.
I am told, sir, that upou your ipse dixit the fate
of citizens depends, and thut tbe sign manual of
the miniatersofLouia the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
was uot more potential in their day than tbat of
the Secretary of State iu 1801. I therefore most
respectfully submit that on Friday, August 23d,
without warrant or other ehow of authority, I was
arrested by tho detective police, aud my bouse
taken iu charge by them ; that all my private let
lets and papers oi a lifetime were rend nnd examined by them ; tbat every law of decency was violated in tbe search of my house and person, and by
the surveillance over me.
We read in history, th.t the poor Marie Antoinettebad a paper toru from her bOBom by lawless
hands, and that even a change of linen had to be
effected lo sight of her brutal captors. It is my
aad experience to record even more revolting out
rages than that, fur dining the first days of my imprisonment, whenever necessity forued me to seek
my chamber, a detective stood sentinel at tbe open
door. And thus for a period of seven days, I, with
my little child, was placed absolutely at tbe mercy
of men without character or responsibility ; tbat
Soring the first evening, a portion of these men
became brutally drunk, and boasted in my bearing
oT the "nice times" they expected to have witb
the female prisoners ; and that rude violence was
used inwards a colored servant girl during that
evening, the extent of which I have not been able
to learn. For any show of decorum afterwards
praotloed towards me, I was indebted to tbe detec-
poorcao never be resumed.
You have held me, sir, to a man's accountabilly
and I therefore claim tbe right to speak on subjects usually considered beyond a woman's ken,
and which you may cla. s as "errors of opinion."
I offer no excuse for tbis long digression, as a three
months imprisonment, without formula of law,
givea me authority for occupying even the precious moments ofa Secretary of State.
My object is to call your attention to the fact
that, during tbis long imprisonment, I am yet ignorant of the causes of my arresl ; that my house
bus been seized and converted into _ p.i-r>_ by **•<•
Government; that the valuable furniture it contained bus been abused and destroyed ; tbat during
some period of my imprisonment I have Buffered
for want of proper aud sufficient food. Also, 1
to complain lhat, more recently, a woman of
bad character, recognized as having beeu seen on
lbe streets of Chicago aB Bucb by several of the
guards, calling herself Mrs Onderdouk, was placed
here In my house, iu a room adjoining mine.
Iu making this exposition I havo no object or
appeal to your sympathies. If the justico of my
complaint, and a decent regard for the world'B
opiuiou do uot move you, I should but waste time to
claim your attention on any other score. I may,"
however, recall to your mind tbat but a little while
since you were quite as much proscribed by public
sentiment here, for the opiniousand principles you
held, as I am now for mine. I could easily have
escaped arrest, having bad timely waruing. I
thought it possible that your statesmanship might
present such a proclamation of weakness to tbe
world, as even the fragment of a once great Government turning its arms agaiust the breasts of
women aud children. You bave the power, sir,
and may Btill further abuse it. You uiaj_ prostrate my physical strength by confinement inclose
rooms, and insufficient food ; you may subject me
to harsher, ruder treatment thau I have already
received, but you caunot imprison the soul. Every
cause worthy or success has bad its martyrs. The
words of the heroine, Corday, are applicable here :
" C'est le crime qui fait la honte et non pas .'.-
chafaudf My sufferings will afford a significant
lesaon to tho women of the South, that sex or condition i3 no bulwark against the surging billows of
tbe "irrepressible conflict."
The " irou heel ol power" may keep down, but
it caunot crush out, the spirit of resistance of a
people armed for the defense of tbeir rights; and
I tell you now, air, that you are standing over a

The Houston Telegraph, of the 2d inst., states
that Galveston lus been evacuated, aad tbe movable property, public aud private, was being remov -
ed to Houston.
Hon. W. P. Hill arrived at home a few days ago,
from whom we gain substantially the following
facts: On the 20th ult., a council of war was held
at Galveston, at which it was determined that it
mpossible to defend tbe city successfully.
The largest guns at the fortifications upou the
island were 3 .-pounders, smooth bores, having a
range not exceeding two miles, while the enemy's
were of the largest calibre, shooting with
accuray three or four miles. To await attack was,
mply to invite tbe surrender or destruction of
ar troops and the city, without the power of inflicting injury upon tbenBsailauta. It was thought
best, therefore, under all the circumstances, to
evacuate Galveston, and occupy a position in the
rear of tbe city, ho as to repel auy advance of thi
Federal troops after tbey had landed. In consequence of this determination an order was issued
lor the removal of the hospital patients from Gal
vestou to Houston, .which was accomplished immediately. All the public aud private property
was being rapidly removed to Houston when
Judge Hill left Galveston. The proprietor of the
News had routed a house in Houston, and announced tbat bis next issue would be printed in
that city, and all the other newspaper establishments, it is supposed, bave done the same. Tbe

In lite careful analysis of my papers I deny the
B-Ciateaoe of a line I had not a perfect right to have
Written, or to have received. Freedom of speech
aud of opinion is the birthright of Americans,
guaranteed to u_ by our charter of liberty—the
Constitution of lite United States. I have exercised
my prerogative, and havo openly avowed my sentiment.. Daring the political struggle 1 opposed
your Republic*!, pai ty with uvcry instinct of self-
preservation. I believed your suceeas a virtual
nullification of tbe Constitution, and lhat it would
entail upon us all the direful eoim'quenc.s which
bave ensued. These sentiments have doubtless
1 >.e;i !ou;nl recorded iimo;ig my papers, and I hukl

A dispatch received from Palmyra, Missouri
Dec. 2U, says : Major Mcl.ee, with one hundred
and three men ot Col. Bishop's regiment, encountered aud repulsed four hundred rebels, four mil
soulh of Houstou, killing ten and taking seventeen
prisoners and thirty horses. Five of our troops
were slightly wounded. Tbe rebels had attacked
a stock train, captured all the stock, held tbe railroad meu as prisoners, and were in tbe act of
unloading the train when the stock and men were
rescued by our troops. A corresponded writes
from Otterville, Mo., Dec. 22 : I learned yesterday,
tbat among the prisoners taken by Gen. Pope, last
Thursday, was tho notorious Col. Magoffliu, of
Georgetown, Mo., About two weeks ago, Cot-
MagofEtu sent word to tbe-Commanding officer
that bis wife was dangerously ill, and begged to-
see her ere she died. He was informed that if he
would give his parole as a prisoner of war, his
request would be granted. He did 80, and went
borne, and the next that was heard of bim was tha'
be commanded the wh ole force which defended the
bridge tbat Col. Davis carried by assault, and that
be fled with his party, aud waa not taken .until
seme time after the rest of the rebel force bad surrendered, and iu consequence of the darkness of
lbe uigbt. was uot recognized uutil the next day.
It seems tbat Colonel Magoffin, having visited his
borne and arrauged hia aflairs, sent a messenger
recalling his parole; but instead of surrendering
himself, as officers generally do, be left, and before
his messenger reached Sedalia, was in the rebel
deserved and would probably receive different
treatment from those who bad uot forfeited all
right to be treated aa prisoners of war, fought
desperately, but uuavailingly. Geueral Hope refused to accept bis parole, and ordered him to be
placed in confinement until Gen. Halleck decided
what disposition to make of him. lie is oue of
tbe most desperate and unscrupulous of tbe marauders in this section, and it is to be hoped that be
will receive the punisiitneui his crituea aud forfeiture of his parole deserve.
The Herald's Fort-oiS Monroe special dispatch
states that 11 steamboats, propellers and large

One hundred and ten meu are said to be employed

LIFE'S BATTLE FUEUUD.
Each has his own one path hi life,
A circle small witbin his ken —
And a small circle, too, perchance—
We cannot all be famous- men !
And duties nn: iml idly dona
By panting vainly after lime,
Or fretting fur the want ol cha'uce
To tjoickly make a brilliant name.
A brilliant niitne \ Too oft i. thta
Tbe phantom that lends ninny on;
Until, too lute, ihey wake and lind
The time for real endenvor gone !
B-tter to fill a lowly place,
And labor there with soul and heart,
Ttiiiti (li-t'nm umbi'.iously of wealth
Till lime and youtbfuistrengtb depart.
Do I sneak sadly ? Truth it is,
That in the lowest place of lite,
A man can act a hero's part,
Amid tht; dnily toil and strife I
Ay., amid hourly din an. Bare,
Even though within the humblest home,
Can . hine in virtue great and grand
As ever gilded ancient Home!
Life's heroism does not need
A . prions or a lofty stage ;
Life's greatesi deeds are not all writ
Upon the limning golden page!
Believe me, glorious work is dune,
Aa lhe world's wheels still onward go,
Which ten (.ongued rumor never yet
Hftth blazoned, or will ever know.
Self-conquest, self-devdtion, these
Are the high gifts which give to all
Wbo own them, that well tempered mind,
Prepared alike lo win or bill-
Prepared, with fitting nieiu. to meet
The happy good or hitler ill ;
Unshaken, v.hether fate the cup
With nectar or with gall may fill!
Each of these words, In loftier truth,
Is a sure talisman i. life,

We (says the Sonoma County Democrat) have
been kindly permitted to make the following eS-
li act from a letter leceived from New London,
Mo., dated October 29th, 1861, by „ resident of
Napa oouuty. .It presents a brief 'history of the war
in Mi-somi, [essentially different from the tele-
giapic reports received iu California,] up to the
removal of Fremont:
Missouri, at the present time, is anything bnt a
desirable State to live iu ; civil war raging in its
worst form — father against son and brother against
brother. Ah; 'tis horrid indeed ; but I will not
moralize—only detail to you the current war
Dens:
the States of Illinois, Iowa. Wisconsin, and Michigan, even when Missouri had asserted again and
again her loyalty to the government of the United
Stales through her people in Convention assembled.
The people of this State remonstrated against the
armed occupation of their soil by soldiers from
other States, which Was not heeded by the President nor his Cabinet; at this time Missouri must
bave been 100,000 stiong for the Union. But freni
the time lhat these Northmen* landen in our State,
Secessionism be gan to gain ground immediately)
and in the course of a month, Missouri had armed
and equipped about 6,000 men ; when the soldiers
from thc o.her Slates first landed she had not one
regiment to defend herself fiQ'm tlie wanton Invasion, But our gallant Missourians, in companies
offorty to three hundred men, would attack and
route whole regiments of these hired Northern
Vandals. At last, tbey come to tiie conclusion
that all the different companies of the Missouri
" Bushwhackers," as they are called by themselves,
should band together and rendezvous at Camp
Jackson in Bates couuty, where Gov. Jackson who
had to leave the capital, (for the Northern soldiers
intended hanging biffi) if they caught him. had
wilh him about three thousand men, and had
established a Camp of Instruction for onr glorious
Missourians. Geu N. Lyon, thc Commander ofthe
Department of lhe West, hearing of this camp, and
that Jackson and his generals were_ there, determined to attack them. Gen. Lyon was the Commander ot the Federal Soldiers and Gen. Price Commander of the State troops. It is a long road from
Jefferson City to Bates county, and before Gen.
Lyon and his command reached Camp Jackson, they
were met at a place called Carthage, by Price and
Bon McCullough, who had jouincd him at Camp
Jackson with about eight thousand men, and
sigm.lly defeated, with no gieat loss of life on our
side or on theirs for thc Federals didn't stand until
the State boys could get in range with their double-
barreled shot guns. After this repulse, Gen. Lyon
with his whole command fell back to Sprin.rrlield,
where he received immense reinforcements from
St. Lcuis, by the soulh west branch of ttie Pacific
Railroad. Here he a waited the coming of Price
and McCullough, who at the time were malting all
possible speed to reach Springfield and besiege
Lyon before he would bo too heavily reinforced.
When they were in about eight miles of Springfield,
at a place called Wilson's Creek, they came to a
halt for the purpose of consulting aa to the best
means of taking Lyon and hia whole army; never
supposing for an instant that ho had near lhe force
that future events clearly demonstrated he did have
Price had given orders for his army to march and
surround Springfield, the night before the battle of
Wilson's Creek, commonly called the battle of
Springfield; but owing to a heavy rain and cloudy
night, the order was countermanded. The nest
morning the Missouri troops suffered themselves to
be completely surprised while af breakfast, whieh
threw ihem into confusion and disorder, from which
ihey soon rallied, only to find themselves surrounded, on the south by Sigel- division and battery, aud
on the west by Major Sturglss and his di. i.ion, and
on the east and north by Gen. Lyon and iii- regu
Jars. The portion cf the army commanded hy Lyon
was the centre and the m st formidable to contend
against of the Federal troops, supported as if w !-;.
by Totlen's battery. The Missouri boys first turned
iheir attention to Sigel'a command, which ihey BOOn
put to flight, capturing his battery, takiog many
prisoners and killing about two lliirds of his com
m:md. They next stormed Lyon aud SfUrgis-. po'.ti
tions, -1 most annihilating SturgiflS command. A
LhU time Major Sturglsa received orders from Geo
Lyon to come to his assislanee, as he was bein;
heavily pressed OU all sides by tie gallant. ai;d de
termmed Mi. souriami. As soon as Sturgiss left hi;
position and wenl fo the reiiel of Lyon, the fifissou
rianfl were repulsed, but soon rallied and drove lhe PO_-«l«Ho0 at the lime ol the present ruibreak _

lant Missourians remained vi'ctorS on the hardest
contested battle-field ever fonght on the ee-utinetil
of America.
Geu. Lyon was as brave an officer as ever drew
a sword, aud it was owing to his bravery tlutt the
Missourians had so much lo coutend against. The
Federal Iota was between three and four thousand
men in killed and wounded aud about two
thousand prisoners. The Confederate l_Sa was
about eight hundred or a thousand killed, wounded and missing, Lyon had about 16,000 men,
and Price about 18,000 meo, but not near as well
equipped as Lyoma were. Lyon, Sigel and Slur-
gi:-s commanded the Noilhcfn troops, and Price
and McChlloch the Conlederate troops. The bat-
-tie of Springfield was (0-ght and won mostly by
Missourians, there being three regiments from
other Slates. After resting on their laurels for
some weeks, the Southern army, un lerPrice, made
for tbe Missouri river, and succeeded iu taking
Lexington and the Federal garrison at that place.

At tho date of our latest regular commercial
advices from the East, financial matters iu that region were rapidly falling iuto the disordei which
had been anticipated for a long time previous by
sagacious merchants and capitalists in Europe,
and which finally terminated, us advised hy telegraph some three weeks ago, in the cessation of
cash payment, and the adoption of a system founded solely upon •■ promises to pay." Il had been
quite evident for months lo panics looking on from
a distance atul uitinihieticed by local prejudices
and excitements, that the tendency of allairs was
plainly id that direction, notwithstanding ali the
show of Strength and solemn resolutions tbat no
occasion for such a procedure existed. " Our ini-
ports,1, it was said, " are far below our exports j
current of specie to ebb under these circumstances;
no necessity exists for a suspension of cash payments _ it Cannot be justified—Huso I veil that we
will not suspend." Vain boast. The blustering
braggart tone ofthe parly press and parly lea'-
ers, created an apprehension among foreign ca_ i-
talists that our Government, iu the matter of the
Trent, would actually persist iu_ a course entirely
at variance with its own repeated utterances, and
lhat the inevitable result would be foreign war.—
The alarm oooasiooed by this conviction sent ihe
foreign bond-holders iuto market, and brought
into play an element which the Resolving financiers seem not to have considered ; showing how
easily an adverse balance eduld be created df .uf-
ficieot magnitude bo threaten the exhaustion of
their accumulated treasures, and crumble their
whole credit fabric into ruins.
In their praiseworthy effort- to sustain tbe Gov
eminent, the banks had gone beyond their depth.
Flattered by the possession of au amount of gold
far exceeding all previous experience, and by the
favorable aspect of foreign exchanges, they imagined Ibemselves able to carry the enormous burden
of national indebtedness until, by skillful maiieeu-
vering, it could be distributed among the people,
To facilitate thisdistributiou it was necessary that
the Federal arms should be successful, that brilliant victories should attend the grand and costly
movements of squadrons and legions. Hence the
lofty shout of triumph upou the favorable issue of
every triiiiug skirmish, and the reticent composure displayed uuder disaster. 'Ihe great object
was lo support the Government until its Bonds
aud Exchequer Bids were disposed of. It w_s a
worthy object surely, but the means resorted to
for attaining it were inadequate and unwise, and
impaired instead of increasing confidence, The
elevated expectations of the people were net real-

scriplions to the War Loan progressed hut slowly,
The rash act of Commander Wiikee, confirmed
as it appeared to be, by tiie indiscreet proceedings
of Cong res,.. and of at hast some members of the
ExeciKive Department,and glOlied over in offensive and'insuleut terms by public Journals, produced
a diversion which prostrated the Banks under tho
weight of their aeeuniulutated burdens. Strong
as their position undoubtedly was according to
their own financial theories, the forced redemption
of American Securities from the hands of foreigners, and the maintenance of Government issues at
home, at the same time, was a task so evidently
beyond their ability, that tbey wisely declined
even the attempt.
Thus closes nominally, and for a time at least,
the supremacy of Gold as a measure ol value among
our Eastern brethren; a purely credit system intervenes, to be regulated, it is presuuii.l, by stipulations aud provisions Imposed by Congress under
authority ofthe Constitution.

Up to tbe breaking out of lhe rebellion there was
a semi-weekly lino of steamships between this
city aud Savannah, and a weekly line connecting
with Philadelphia. There were also regular lines
of sailing vessels to this port and Huston, and tt

To the Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of
State— Sir: For nearly three months I bave been
confined, a close prisoner, shut out from air and
exercise, and douied all communion with family
nnd friends.
J, Patience Is said to be a good virtue, and I have
practiced it to my utmost capacity of endurance.
I am told, sir, that upou your ipse dixit the fate
of citizens depends, and thut tbe sign manual of
the miniatersofLouia the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
was uot more potential in their day than tbat of
the Secretary of State iu 1801. I therefore most
respectfully submit that on Friday, August 23d,
without warrant or other ehow of authority, I was
arrested by tho detective police, aud my bouse
taken iu charge by them ; that all my private let
lets and papers oi a lifetime were rend nnd examined by them ; tbat every law of decency was violated in tbe search of my house and person, and by
the surveillance over me.
We read in history, th.t the poor Marie Antoinettebad a paper toru from her bOBom by lawless
hands, and that even a change of linen had to be
effected lo sight of her brutal captors. It is my
aad experience to record even more revolting out
rages than that, fur dining the first days of my imprisonment, whenever necessity forued me to seek
my chamber, a detective stood sentinel at tbe open
door. And thus for a period of seven days, I, with
my little child, was placed absolutely at tbe mercy
of men without character or responsibility ; tbat
Soring the first evening, a portion of these men
became brutally drunk, and boasted in my bearing
oT the "nice times" they expected to have witb
the female prisoners ; and that rude violence was
used inwards a colored servant girl during that
evening, the extent of which I have not been able
to learn. For any show of decorum afterwards
praotloed towards me, I was indebted to tbe detec-
poorcao never be resumed.
You have held me, sir, to a man's accountabilly
and I therefore claim tbe right to speak on subjects usually considered beyond a woman's ken,
and which you may cla. s as "errors of opinion."
I offer no excuse for tbis long digression, as a three
months imprisonment, without formula of law,
givea me authority for occupying even the precious moments ofa Secretary of State.
My object is to call your attention to the fact
that, during tbis long imprisonment, I am yet ignorant of the causes of my arresl ; that my house
bus been seized and converted into _ p.i-r>_ by **•.e;i !ou;nl recorded iimo;ig my papers, and I hukl
Khun W ntthera proctd record ot my sagacity.
.1 moat be permitted to quote from a letter of
yours In regard to Reuse!!, ofthe Load-fit Times
B*te_ Y'ii aooelnde witb these admirable words
" Individual errors of opinion may be lolerattd. so
long aa good sense ia lett to combat them." By
way of iiliislrating theory and practice —hure a in
i a prisoner to-Lght of Bte Bssonttve manslon.ln

our land bave suug their prnnns to the bleealoga bl

ance of the Southern States. Our people hav
cations, and the troopB have (alien back to tbe
terminus oftbe railroad bridge, on the island, and
a still larger force stationed at Virgin Point, on
the main land.
Mule Timks.—From present appearance, tbe old
fashioned, California way of traveling, aud transporting goods, on the quarter-deck of a mule, is
likely to be re-inaugurated in the mountains, and
it may be in our valleys, too ; for the coudition of
thefOSris Is B-Oh, that teaming has been entirely
abandoned iu many sections of the State, and the
iron nerved, sure-footed little mule brought into
requisition.
Camehox asu Sxkvkns.—Secretary Cameron and
Thadileus Slovens, who had not been ou speaking
i'-vin-' for y_.rs, buried the hatchet publicly lately
Stevens, ia alluding to tbe Secretary's report,.
spoke or liim in the highest terms, Cameron entered the House during tlie session, walked up to
Stevens' ,,-at lUid ex!ended hi. huml, which v.:
grasped warmly. The two afterwards walked up
tbe avenue together.
A dispatch received from Palmyra, Missouri
Dec. 2U, says : Major Mcl.ee, with one hundred
and three men ot Col. Bishop's regiment, encountered aud repulsed four hundred rebels, four mil
soulh of Houstou, killing ten and taking seventeen
prisoners and thirty horses. Five of our troops
were slightly wounded. Tbe rebels had attacked
a stock train, captured all the stock, held tbe railroad meu as prisoners, and were in tbe act of
unloading the train when the stock and men were
rescued by our troops. A corresponded writes
from Otterville, Mo., Dec. 22 : I learned yesterday,
tbat among the prisoners taken by Gen. Pope, last
Thursday, was tho notorious Col. Magoffliu, of
Georgetown, Mo., About two weeks ago, Cot-
MagofEtu sent word to tbe-Commanding officer
that bis wife was dangerously ill, and begged to-
see her ere she died. He was informed that if he
would give his parole as a prisoner of war, his
request would be granted. He did 80, and went
borne, and the next that was heard of bim was tha'
be commanded the wh ole force which defended the
bridge tbat Col. Davis carried by assault, and that
be fled with his party, aud waa not taken .until
seme time after the rest of the rebel force bad surrendered, and iu consequence of the darkness of
lbe uigbt. was uot recognized uutil the next day.
It seems tbat Colonel Magoffin, having visited his
borne and arrauged hia aflairs, sent a messenger
recalling his parole; but instead of surrendering
himself, as officers generally do, be left, and before
his messenger reached Sedalia, was in the rebel
deserved and would probably receive different
treatment from those who bad uot forfeited all
right to be treated aa prisoners of war, fought
desperately, but uuavailingly. Geueral Hope refused to accept bis parole, and ordered him to be
placed in confinement until Gen. Halleck decided
what disposition to make of him. lie is oue of
tbe most desperate and unscrupulous of tbe marauders in this section, and it is to be hoped that be
will receive the punisiitneui his crituea aud forfeiture of his parole deserve.
The Herald's Fort-oiS Monroe special dispatch
states that 11 steamboats, propellers and large
launchers are being builtat Norfolk Navy Yard, to
attempt the recapture of Hatteras. They are to
rendezvous at Roanoke Island, where tbey will be
joined by gunboats now fitting out at Norfolk.
One hundred and ten meu are said to be employed
iu Norfolk under Englishmen, making guns and
projectiles from recent English patterns.
T_uuY.lLSTic_.~The New York board of Alder
men have passed an ordinance appropriating ball
B million of dollars for the relief nl tbe destitute
.■i-.es and children of volunteers. This actioi
cranes tint a moment too soon to'preveut starvation
aud riot, of which there was strong apprehension
at last advices.
Utau.—A telegraphic dispatch to the Union,
from Salt Lake, Jauuary 17th, Bays: " Four ol
tbe meu engaged in tbe attack on and robbery of
Governor Dawson are apprehended. Tbe officers
came up with three othera at Rush Valley, on
their way to California. Lot Huntington resisted
and got shot; tbe others, Clawson and Smith, on

LIFE'S BATTLE FUEUUD.
Each has his own one path hi life,
A circle small witbin his ken —
And a small circle, too, perchance—
We cannot all be famous- men !
And duties nn: iml idly dona
By panting vainly after lime,
Or fretting fur the want ol cha'uce
To tjoickly make a brilliant name.
A brilliant niitne \ Too oft i. thta
Tbe phantom that lends ninny on;
Until, too lute, ihey wake and lind
The time for real endenvor gone !
B-tter to fill a lowly place,
And labor there with soul and heart,
Ttiiiti (li-t'nm umbi'.iously of wealth
Till lime and youtbfuistrengtb depart.
Do I sneak sadly ? Truth it is,
That in the lowest place of lite,
A man can act a hero's part,
Amid tht; dnily toil and strife I
Ay., amid hourly din an. Bare,
Even though within the humblest home,
Can . hine in virtue great and grand
As ever gilded ancient Home!
Life's heroism does not need
A . prions or a lofty stage ;
Life's greatesi deeds are not all writ
Upon the limning golden page!
Believe me, glorious work is dune,
Aa lhe world's wheels still onward go,
Which ten (.ongued rumor never yet
Hftth blazoned, or will ever know.
Self-conquest, self-devdtion, these
Are the high gifts which give to all
Wbo own them, that well tempered mind,
Prepared alike lo win or bill-
Prepared, with fitting nieiu. to meet
The happy good or hitler ill ;
Unshaken, v.hether fate the cup
With nectar or with gall may fill!
Each of these words, In loftier truth,
Is a sure talisman i. life,

We (says the Sonoma County Democrat) have
been kindly permitted to make the following eS-
li act from a letter leceived from New London,
Mo., dated October 29th, 1861, by „ resident of
Napa oouuty. .It presents a brief 'history of the war
in Mi-somi, [essentially different from the tele-
giapic reports received iu California,] up to the
removal of Fremont:
Missouri, at the present time, is anything bnt a
desirable State to live iu ; civil war raging in its
worst form — father against son and brother against
brother. Ah; 'tis horrid indeed ; but I will not
moralize—only detail to you the current war
Dens:
the States of Illinois, Iowa. Wisconsin, and Michigan, even when Missouri had asserted again and
again her loyalty to the government of the United
Stales through her people in Convention assembled.
The people of this State remonstrated against the
armed occupation of their soil by soldiers from
other States, which Was not heeded by the President nor his Cabinet; at this time Missouri must
bave been 100,000 stiong for the Union. But freni
the time lhat these Northmen* landen in our State,
Secessionism be gan to gain ground immediately)
and in the course of a month, Missouri had armed
and equipped about 6,000 men ; when the soldiers
from thc o.her Slates first landed she had not one
regiment to defend herself fiQ'm tlie wanton Invasion, But our gallant Missourians, in companies
offorty to three hundred men, would attack and
route whole regiments of these hired Northern
Vandals. At last, tbey come to tiie conclusion
that all the different companies of the Missouri
" Bushwhackers," as they are called by themselves,
should band together and rendezvous at Camp
Jackson in Bates couuty, where Gov. Jackson who
had to leave the capital, (for the Northern soldiers
intended hanging biffi) if they caught him. had
wilh him about three thousand men, and had
established a Camp of Instruction for onr glorious
Missourians. Geu N. Lyon, thc Commander ofthe
Department of lhe West, hearing of this camp, and
that Jackson and his generals were_ there, determined to attack them. Gen. Lyon was the Commander ot the Federal Soldiers and Gen. Price Commander of the State troops. It is a long road from
Jefferson City to Bates county, and before Gen.
Lyon and his command reached Camp Jackson, they
were met at a place called Carthage, by Price and
Bon McCullough, who had jouincd him at Camp
Jackson with about eight thousand men, and
sigm.lly defeated, with no gieat loss of life on our
side or on theirs for thc Federals didn't stand until
the State boys could get in range with their double-
barreled shot guns. After this repulse, Gen. Lyon
with his whole command fell back to Sprin.rrlield,
where he received immense reinforcements from
St. Lcuis, by the soulh west branch of ttie Pacific
Railroad. Here he a waited the coming of Price
and McCullough, who at the time were malting all
possible speed to reach Springfield and besiege
Lyon before he would bo too heavily reinforced.
When they were in about eight miles of Springfield,
at a place called Wilson's Creek, they came to a
halt for the purpose of consulting aa to the best
means of taking Lyon and hia whole army; never
supposing for an instant that ho had near lhe force
that future events clearly demonstrated he did have
Price had given orders for his army to march and
surround Springfield, the night before the battle of
Wilson's Creek, commonly called the battle of
Springfield; but owing to a heavy rain and cloudy
night, the order was countermanded. The nest
morning the Missouri troops suffered themselves to
be completely surprised while af breakfast, whieh
threw ihem into confusion and disorder, from which
ihey soon rallied, only to find themselves surrounded, on the south by Sigel- division and battery, aud
on the west by Major Sturglss and his di. i.ion, and
on the east and north by Gen. Lyon and iii- regu
Jars. The portion cf the army commanded hy Lyon
was the centre and the m st formidable to contend
against of the Federal troops, supported as if w !-;.
by Totlen's battery. The Missouri boys first turned
iheir attention to Sigel'a command, which ihey BOOn
put to flight, capturing his battery, takiog many
prisoners and killing about two lliirds of his com
m:md. They next stormed Lyon aud SfUrgis-. po'.ti
